It might even have been originally intended as such, which could explain the unevenness of some of the last year of New Mutants. It was pushed back almost a year, IIRC, so whatever original launch was intended seems to have been totally rewritten (much like the Union, originally intended to show up during Empyre, and then rewritten to be loosely tied to King in Black).
